Associate Professor Amir Razmjou

Associate Professor at Edith Cowan University, Board Director of the Membrane Society of Australasia, and founder and leader of ECU's Mineral Recovery Research Centre (MRRC). With a diverse, multi-industry background spanning surface engineering, critical mineral extraction (e.g., lithium, rubidium, high-purity alumina), membranes, and sensors, he has published over 210 articles (h-index 56, Citations: 12,000 on Google Scholar, March 2025) and secured significant research funding exceeding $15.4 million ($7.95 million as lead CI), including a $0.5 million Minerals Research Institute of Western Australia (MRIWA) strategic fund for lithium extraction in WA (resulting in 2 patents applications) and a recent $6.4 million CRC-P grant using membrane technology for high purity alumina production. Recognized with awards including the 2023 WA FHRI Fund Innovation Fellowship, 2023 MSA Industry Innovation Award, 2024 ECU Vice-Chancellor's Staff Excellence Award for Excellence in Research, and the 2021 UTS Chancellor Research Fellowship, he has supervised over 40 HDR students. He holds editorial board roles in prominent journals such as Desalination, DWT, and JWPE. He was announced as a Finalist in the Australian Museum's Eureka Awards due to his contribution to desalination using hydrogel-assisted FO technology (2014, ANSTO Eureka Prize for Innovative Use of Technology).
